    Came here for dinner last night before the Zac Brown concert, our first time but will not be our last! Our meals were delicious and the mussels we had for an appetizer were so fresh and tasty too! Only gripe is they only put one piece of bread on the plate with them for dipping, which between 4 people was not enough, but we did ask for more bread and got it with no problem. Our server was very friendly and did a wonderful job taking care of us. The meals we had were, the baked haddock, the swordfish, blackened mahi mahi over a salad and the beet salad with steak. The bar area looked really fun but there were no seats, maybe next time. The view of the lake is so beautiful it would've been nice to sit there. Perfect little spot and I will be sure to tell all our friends to try the Breeze!

    1st impressions are important & The Breeze faired well with me. The bar & dining area has a bright contemporary atmosphere to it. Additionally the bar seating has a beautiful view of Lake Winnipeasaukee. Only had drinks & an appetizer but both were very good. The bartender was prompt and polite. Looking at their menu, food and drink prices are reasonable. I'll definitely be back in the future to more thoroughly check out their menu selections. I recommend The Breeze for an enjoyable app & drink experience.

    Seafood Saffron

    If you haven't yet tried The Breeze in Gilford, do yourself a favor and go! My parents and I had lunch there and it was the best meal I've had in a long time. The steamed mussels were the best I've ever had and the seafood saffron (below) was unique and delicious. The service was outstanding as well. We will definitely be back!

    Mezcal Negroni!

    I tried The Breeze for the first time on Monday evening and can't wait to go back! We got there around 5 and had no problem getting a table for 3. The atmosphere is fantastic.. bright and open (and spotlessly clean!) with gorgeous views of the lake. We sat at a high top in the bar area and it was perfect. The drink menu was eclectic with lots of unique specialty cocktails - I got a Mezcal Negroni and it was absolutely delicious... I've been talking about it all week! The wine selection was plentiful as well. We started off with the grilled octopus appetizer and were certainly not disappointed! It was cooked to perfection and the presentation was great. I had a Caesar salad with steak tips for dinner which were also cooked perfectly medium rare and the homemade dressing was excellent. The burger looked great and so did the Steak tip salad! The rest of the menu sounds awesome and I can't wait to go back! Matt, our server, was very personable and knowledgeable about both the food & drink menu. Everyone working was pleasant and smiling and that makes the whole experience that much better. As someone who works in the restaurant industry (and have for many years) I can be critical.... But this place gets 5 stars hands down! 10/10 would recommend!

    The food, service and ambience were wonderful. Love sitting right by the water. The manager went table by table asking how everything is.

    Great service and atmosphere. Food is good but a rather limited menu. Cocktails are fresh.

    Great meal and Josh provided excellent service. A little noisy near the bar so we dined in the side room. I will be back.

    First great view staff and food. The only issue is parking and spots at the bar, but that's what happens at great spots on the lake. ;)

We ordered the octopus appetizer which was tender with toasted bread and seaweed salad. The chicken wings app were crispy and had a spicy rub. I had the Caesar salad with MahiMahi which was cooked perfectly. We sat in front of the fireplace, really enjoying our meal and watching the sleet outside. We'll definitely return.

We almost couldn't hear each other across a small table. Decent wine list. They had a Prisoner Chardonnay $14 and Unshackled Cabernet Sauvignon $13. I got an Oberon Sauvignon Blanc for $10. The crab cake appetizer for $18 came with two burger-sized crab cakes, a peach salsa that was the star of the show, and a dill remoulade sauce. Enough to share. However, the texture was like moist breadcrumbs, similar to falafel, and we saw no crabmeat. It was seasoned to taste like seafood, but the crab didn't show up to the party. My husband got the Tuscan filet for $43 and said it was tender but not medium rare as he ordered. It was definitely medium. I got the seafood saffron for $32 that came with two medium sized scallops, 3-4 medium shrimp and a few small pieces of lobster. I saw a few shorts threads of saffron but the sauce was sweet! Not coconut sweet, but sugary sweet. I thought it would be sherry based like a light Newburgh sauce, but no. I'm not keen on sweet seafood. I thought a lemon or sherry based light sauce would have complimented the scallops and lobster better. Sorry Breeze kitchen staff. I have to be honest, but hopefully kind. The food was plated beautifully. You set out cloth napkins. But we can't see coming back for a long while. That was our anniversary dinner. $137.91 plus tip. Swing and a miss.
